House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appears on Mornings With Maria Bartiromo to discuss the abuse of the FISA court by officials within the Obama DOJ and FBI. [Two Important Video Segments]

I share the frustration of these Treepers! When will we see someone prosecuted for their crimes against this country? We can only hope that Trump/Sessions are playing a very long game of chess, but most of us who want the Swamp drained are growing impatient with no action at all. There is a remote possibility that all of the evidence will be ‘lost’, or Trump will loose support in the meantime over the lack of action.

Patience. When prosecuting people in high levels of government with enormous initial public support you first have to thoroughly discredit them with the public and then you have to make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed. Prosecuting in haste makes waste.

Sessions has more strategic patience than some of the commenters here. He’ll get one shot at these slippery eels, so he’s got to make it count. We don’t need QUICK prosecutions; we need INESCAPABLE prosecutions.

Nunes said that “As I understand it, this [IG report] is really only looking at the Clinton email scandal. It’s not looking at all the other problems.” at 5:05 in 2nd video. “They are only looking at DOJ and FBI. They can’t look at places like the State Dept.” And Nunes reminds us that the IG has no prosecutorial power. He’s telling us it’s still a long hard climb to actually nail some of these crooks.

Good catch! I’d still like Nunes to provide some idea of how many others besides Carter Page were surveilled on the basis of the FISA Court approval for Title 1 surveillance on Carter Page. Don’t need names (e.g. Flynn, or campaign workers), I just want the imputed motive of spying on the Trump campaign to be reinforced with facts and examples.

Not claiming that it’s my original thought, but I posted here weeks ago the very same sentiment. Stands to reason with the regressive mindset: “We’ve got a hammer, let’s pound this nail.” Then someone else says, “Hey, 16 other nails over here……where’s that hammer?” I would bet my last dollar that the Obama/Clinton/State/FBI/DOJ/DNC/K-street machine went hog wild with their shiny new tool.

The way I understand it (FISC Surveillance), is that it’s “2-Hops” out. Example – Carter page communicates (phone, text, email, other), with the Chief of Staff (1st Hop), Chief of Staff communicates with POTUS (2nd Hop). This example is for EVERY person Carter Page communicated with past and current – each person he communicated with gets 2-Hops out.

In each of those Hops, every conversations (PAST & Current), can be monitored and/or retrieved. With that all in mind, there is 99% probability that every person in the Trump team, Trump Organization, Trump Friends & Family were spied on!

The only “rule” that 2-Hops Do Not apply to are large corporations (Google for example – if Google was in one of the Hops, you cannot spy on every person who has a Google account).

^^^^^THIS ^^^^^ This is what they did (2 hops), I’m as sure of it as night follows day. The whole 2-hop thing both forward and back needs to be brought out more clearly in the media. A lot of what happens here makes it out into the mainstream so maybe if pushed from here, we can turn this into more that just “they spied on Carter Page” because Page isn’t the only one actually spied on and we need to make sure that is known far and wide. I’m doing my part by telling others of this 2 hop forward and back methodology, and I also tell them if they don’y think obummer and Co. didn’t use this provision, I have a bridge to sell them.

“In testimony yesterday before the House Judiciary Committee [in 2013], National Security Agency Deputy Director Chris Inglis said that the NSA’s probing of data in search of terrorist activity extended “two to three hops” away from suspected terrorists. Previously, NSA leaders had said surveillance was limited to only two “hops” from a suspect.” by Sean Gallagher – 7/18/2013 Arstechnica.com

I believe contact chaining applies only to metadata (i.e. call records), not content of communications. The NSA was collecting call records (e.g. who called who at what time) in bulk prior to 2015. They were permitted to create relationship maps out to three hops. The USA Freedom Act passed by Congress in 2015 stopped the NSA from collecting American’s phone records in bulk – they must now get an individualized warrant to request the info from the phone company. Three-hop contact chaining was limited to two-hops by Obama.

Contact chaining is based on rules, not Law (FISA). By Law, however, the targeting rules must be approved by the FISA Court.

Just because you happen to be an associate of someone under FISA approved surveillance does not make you also a target of surveillance, other than to be picked up incidentally where your identity would need to be masked.

Of course, what they really do when they get FISA approval for an individual is not limited by the technology – it’s just a query of a database supposedly subject to audit after the fact.

My limited intelligence tells me that rather than “giving cover” it only makes them more corrupt, abusive, and culpable. But, I’m just a dumb ole country Republican in a deeply blue state, so what do I know.

Agree, however, since it has taken so long for the report(IG) to come out IMO it will be somewhat a disappointment. Furthermore it seems the constant re-cuing the same story over and over the public is getting tired. Same MO of the last eight years wear’em down then move along nothing here. Shucks Mueller’s Pinocchio b$ is nothing more than bread crumbs for corrupt employee paychecks to very incompetent crooks with a title.

It seems the 27 leak investigations are the same ones mentioned by Sessions at his August 4, 2017 press. Nothing new there.

*******
08/04/2017: Sessions said the Justice Department has “more than tripled” the number of active leak investigations compared to the number pending at the end of the Obama administration.

11/14/2017: “Members of the committee, we had about nine open investigations of classified leaks in the last three years,” Sessions said. “We have 27 investigations open today. We intend to get to the bottom of these leaks.”

Wow! I wound up listening to the whole thing! Explosive stuff here with Dr. Corsi but I wish this video could be condensed down to only his comments. The interviewer talks too much! I hope that part about Justice Scalia is not true. I do believe he was murdered but please, not like that!

if you have the software and the time, it can be done. Someone did that for Dr. Corsi’s explanation of Uranium One. It was originally part of a 2 or 2 1/2 hr. video and was cut to one hour.
There are plenty of his recent videos on You tube worth listening to while you multi-task doing something else.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the DOJ to indict anyone in regards to the FISA abuse, Hillary crimes, or the 2009 Uranium One crimes for that matter. AG Sessions is too busy writing blackmail checks.

Sessions said he was recusing himself from all matters pertaining to the 2016 election. So that means that his deputy, swamp rat Rod Rosenstein is in charge of all those “matters.” Rosenstein signed at least one of the FISA warrant applications based on the phony Steele dossier. (On February 20th, Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett says that 6 federal felony statutes were violated in lying to the FISA judges.) Rosenstein also threatened Chairman Nunes and the House Intel Committee if they didn’t stop their investigation. So Rosenstein is in charge of investigating himself and his friends in all matters pertaining to the 2016 election..

Sessions even told Congress that his recusal extended all the way back to 2009 and he was unable to investigate the bribery, extortion, money laundering, racketeering, etc in the Uranium One deal. Who covered up Uranium One so that Hillary could get her $145 million? Rosenstein, Mueller, Comey, McCabe, Weissmann, Holder, Clinton, et al. Who did Sessions assign to investigate the Uranium One crimes? Rod Rosenstein. When Senator Grassley pointed out to Sessions that Rosenstein was involved in Uranium One, Sessions said that Rosenstein can investigate himself.

So we’re waiting for Rosenstein to indict himself, as well as his good friends Hillary Clinton, Comey, Mueller, et al..

Gregg Jarrett: Six felonies by Rosenstein, McCabe, Comey, Yates for lying to FISA judges. (Note the video cuts off before Gregg says “obstruction of justice.”)

Mr. Jarrett just reiterated those concerns on Lou Dobb’s FBN show this evening at around 20 minutes into the show. He seems to think (corroborated by sources inside DOJ) that Mr. Sessions lacks the awareness of what has to be done, as well as the physical energy to do it.
“A man has got to know his limitations” – Clint Eastwood, playing “Dirty” Harry Callahan in “Magnum Force” -1973

You indict people for what you know they did, and while they’re sitting in Stir, you keep investigating and indicting. If you discover that the folks sitting in the Big House did more crimes than you knew originally, you add the charges and continue the trials.

Nunes is a hero – just like Admiral Rogers. Jordan is in their club. I don’t think anything will happen until Rosenstein is neutered. He is IMHO as powerful right now as the President and is his biggest nemesis. Gotta get rid of him.

1) “High officials in the Trump Admnistration” …. one has to be Rosenstein.
2) Not bothered by the answer about the IG only reporting on the email issue. That is vital.
3) Moreover, Nunes emphasized exactly what I have been posting: a PROSECUTORIAL mechanism is absolutely justified, necessary and needed right now to handle the snooping scandal.
4) Nunes conceded that he has no indication whether or not something like that is in motion now … (using DOJ personnel in lieu of a second SC?)

Because Nunes himself did not seem to be not very much bothered about it.

Why? Because it could mean that the IG is coming out with separate reports gradually, maybe?

But my impression from the whole part 2 of the interview is that he is confident of his committee’s ability to investigate, and thus not rely upon the IG to develop evidence. In fact, it could mean that Nunes actually sees the IG as a temporary, slow moving hindrance to his own efforts … where he has to defer in these matters. He’d rather get the IG out of the picture and clear the field for Congress.

But bottom line, he stated that the IG is not a prosecutorial mechanism, that that is what is crucially lacking now. Investigations, investigations, investigations are not the priority for Nunes. It’s charging people and making them pay for their crimes PLUS flipping as many as possible. It’s almost like Nunes is not happy that Strzok and those characters aren’t being forced to squeal under a burden of indictments, rather than whatever pressure they are getting now.

Definitely. They are marxists, pure and simple. Everyone who misuses “progressives,’ takes importance and relevance from American Progressives from the turn of the century, from all walks of life, including Main Street businesses, who were trying to stop the illegalities and then-voter fraud, including buying entire state legislatures by the equivalent of our Global Elite corporate types today. Then a variety of Robber Barons.

“Progzi” is the term you’re looking for. They’re not egalitarian or anarchist enough to be Marxists–they want it all their way or no way and they want the full weight of an authoritarian gummint working solely for them. They are a new kind of nazi–not national socialists, but globalist/progressive (as in radical relativists, progressively destroying the Constitution and all sound institutions of western culture) socialists, ergo, progzis.

You’re wrong, they are one half of a nazi duopoly.
The merger of the state and corporations as Mussolini defined it.
Both Democraps and Repubcraps are equally guilty.That is the Deep State is.
Don’t attack the messenger, just think about it, before you try to refute it.
I think you will find it hard to once you have.
Operation Paperclip brought all sorts of nazi’s to the USA, not just the rocket scientists,
not at all.

At this point, “ultimately” is not a very satisfying answer for the courageous white hats that are taking a political pounding, including PDJT. This is trench warfare, not Marquis of Queensbury. Nunes is not a happy camper.

Dontcha know that #NunesFrustration is a part of 128D chess Nunes, Trump, Mueller and Sessions are playing? Trump and Nunes provide the cover for #SilentAssassin who lied about his recusal but in fact is actively investigating everything and getting ready to drop his #Hammer close to the #Midterms because #Timing is important. I realize I should’ve inserted a quote from Q somewhere in my post but you get the point.

#Patience
#All will be #revealed in due time
#9,000 sealed indictments

I believe that whatever is happening behind the scenes is happening slowly for a reason. The cognitive dissonance that must be overcome is staggering. They have slowly dripped certain information in order to get it firmly set in the public minds. Each new bit builds on that. Maybe it won’t be the epic cosmic smackdown we’d like to see, but something is happening.

IMO nothing will happen until the Mueller investigation officially closes. Until then, there will always be an “obstruction” threat. Mueller is the last hope the Dems have of removing Pres Trump prior to 2020. They are not going to let it go.

Reply to anotherworriedmom – I agree with the “obstruction” threat. I am sure Trump’s lawyers are cautioning him about obstruction. However, if Mueller wasn’t there, and the DOJ tries to indict anyone, the crooked mainstream media and UniParty (which is against Trump) will say the President is using his office to go after political opponents.

I like that idea. Now, as one of the co-owners of this government, I have a right to know now – not next week – that prosecutions *will* be forthcoming for certain. I don’t need the secret details, but I (the owner) have a right to know.

I am at the point where I think Sessions is guilty of insubordination. He works for the President. The President has made it perfectly clear that someone should be charged, yet Sessions does nothing. POTUS needs to ask for his resignation.

He offered it last spring after some snafu, but it was not accepted. The big question is, who can be confirmed by the snakes in the Senate (GOPe)?
Probably the only reason Mr. Sessions was confirmed is that he agreed to recuse himself from the things that mattered most for justice for the crimes committed by the Democrats from the previous administration.
Another play is to get Rosenstein out because of Uranium One, so # 3 can step in.
Or another Special Counsel,

What POTUS needs is for Nunes, Jordan, Meadows, et al to write him and demand that Sessions do something….cc Sessions. This give Potus backing for asking Sessions to resign and pressure on Sessions to do the right thing and resign.

Where on Earth are the rest of the Republicans/Conservatives? Other than Nunes (mostly Nunes), Jordan, Grassley, Goodlatte…a few others? I know that they’re not privy to the same information as Nunes, Grassley…but doesn’t anyone else in the Republican party have ANYTHING to add to this conversation?!!
I don’t have cable so maybe I’m missing some interviews? Is this the case or has the Republican party gone completely silent on all of this treason and criminality? Hmm, if so, I wonder why?

I think you are correct. Tails firmly between their legs, they have run for and are hiding out in the tall grass like the political cowards they are. UNLESS they all know about the alleged “hammer” dropping on lawbreakers behind the scenes and have been instructed or have a strong incentive to keep quiet. As for that “incentive” – can we all agree that it is exceedingly RARE in Washington DC that everyone keeps quiet about ANYTHING of political significance ….unless it damages them.

So, regarding the deafening silence from the GOP and the media, is it possible that the overwhelming majority of politicians and other political players in Washington DC are ALL potentially damaged by these findings? Does this scandal reach farther and wider than has been detailed thus far? Is this a potential crack in the Earth’s crust under DC?

Of course, a lot of republicans are going to be afflicted.
A few months ago, I remember Trey Goudy casually mentioning (in an interview concerning something else) that if the Clinton Foundation were fully investigated, half of Washington, DC would be going to jail.
We must remember that he is only one of a few people to be able to see everything inside those SCIFs.

Thank You…that post was one of the rare times my typing got out of control, but its been in my brain for a long time.
I am so pissed at the people blindly following David Hogg. Apparently he can declare war on numerous American Companies & Organizations but if we fight back we are bullying a kid. Right now he is going after FedEx…

We had better put a big dent in it soon. Foreign owners — no matter the percentage of shares — should not be permitted on American airwaves — no more Saudis, no more Australians, no more Mexicans, no more Soros’s from whatever country, etc..

The corporate media are against the people. It’s not a First Amendment issue to close them, because the media is not a person with rights. Fascism grants those “person” rights to corporations. Our Constitution does not.

I have admittedly vacillated between optimism – as Sundance’s series of reports and opinions in this site allude to eventual but almost inevitable prosecutions and punishments of some sort – and pessimism, after hearing someone as high up and powerful as Devin Nunes voice genuine concerns and frustrations over a lack of attention to these findings or any action.

It is incredibly discouraging some days. I’m not sure how I’ll react or what I’ll do if it turns out Sessions isn’t doing any of what we all hope and pray he is doing behind the scenes. Ditto if the IG report isn’t the smoking gun we hope it will be.

Is it just me, or does it seem the white hats were building to something over many weeks … and now there’s a stall?

There is this prevailing notion that eventually the media won’t be able to ignore these issues. I don’t see why not. When Friday rolls around and the subpoenas get issued, they will deflect about something else. When the IG report comes out, knowing it has no teeth, they will talk about prostitutes, wife abusers, school shootings or the emotional topic du jour. If indictments are ever issued, they will spin a narrative of political witch hunting. Ignorance is their business. Suppressing public outcry is their goal.

How would you feel if a couple of Senators and Congressmen, as well as media types were included in the roundup? They will not suppress that. That would have to happen when Congress is not in session, or traveling to or from Washington – so mark your calendar.

I agree nearly completely, but I do believe should convictions eventually happen people will pay attention. People generally believe that courts sort out the nonsense and generally dispense justice.

Without that it is just so much more political noise to the vast majority of people. And the MSM spins our side as just political smears.

That is why I don’t believe in the gradual enlightening of the low info’s as to what is going on in order to avoid shocking them. We aren’t informing them. This is just more blah, blah, blah to them. Except that Mueller is actually indicting and convicting people. They notice that.

Devin Nunes is getting closer and closer to the Top of the White Hats in my book. That top spot still belongs to Admiral Rogers! Devin Nunes is fighting like hell for each and everyone of us. He has the same Cold Anger running through his blood that runs through ours. The man has seen all the madness of the Left up close and personal. Maria B. was ready to execute the Mayor from Oakland and rightfully so. Devin was calm, cool and collected because he has been privy to the craziness for a good chunk of his adult life coming from California.

The last couple of weeks, he has been everywhere! He is killing the Democrats, the Left and what really excites me the most, the media. He is going after the media and exposing what we all know. They have been in bed with this whole cover up from day one. Nunes was absolutely right, they never thought our President could win. Once he did, they had to try to explain it off and take him down with Muh Russia.

Can we afford to wait that long? Fire Rosenstein and Wray today and let the cards lay where they fall. Its time for some action. Stir the pot. The Dems are not going to hate the President any more than what they do now.

Trouble is it is not only the Dems who hate Trump, it is the UniParty. People say the President should fire Sessions, fire Rosenstein. The President hired Wray, and he (Wray) is not doing much. With the crooked main stream media and UniParty against the President, subordinates do not follow Trump’s directives. In fact, not listening to the President seems to boost these officials standing with the crooked main stream media and Congress (in fact Senate Republicans rejoice when officials disregard Trump).

Reply to tunis – Wow! Many Conservative Tree House people believe the IG report will be the big ugly. What Nunes says (and he is essentially the only one driving this FISA fiasco) essentially eliminates that possibility. NO THREE D CHESS. Game over, Trump is just trying to survive and make positive changes. That’s all there is folks!

it seems to me the email investigation is a great place to start! During his campaign, PT repeatedly talked about crooked Hillary amid thunderous chants of “lock her up!” I think the email investigation presents an opportunity to fulfill a campaign promise he seemed to have abandoned–and that will re-ignite his base going into the midterms.
The investigations won’t stop with the email scandal…they will likely snowball…

The press release from Office of the Inspector General last January IG lays out the general nature of the investigation. It’s not just the emails, the areas of inquiry are very, very broad. It is about the abuse of the FISA court, the corruption in the FBI (including Comey) and corruption in the DOJ.

This is going to come out, and the gavel is going to come down. EVERYTHING that has happened lately, especially the pearl-clutching over Parkland is not a sign of strength on the part of our enemies…it’s DESPERATION. They are losing. Badly. We saw that Jake Tapeworm couldn’t really defend Israel over the shooting. He was indefensible.

Toto has yanked down the curtain and everyone can see Oz for the fraud that he really is. Just like Sundance has said, “I shall leave you naked before your enemies.”

I agree with your POV on Nunes. A true patriot with, hopefully, a very long and bright future. We need a lot more of people like him.

But I share others’ concerns about lack of what I will call “White Hat Progress”. Not one indictment, not one ongoing prosecution and eons away from a conviction despite what are obviously multiple felonies.

The Black Hats control the narrative. The average low to moderate information voter (that will decide the mid terms) only hear progress on the Black Hat side. Dust being kicked up everywhere.

I understand the concept of patience, and I understand the fact that a complex investigation takes time.

I see it differently. I think we have been completely on attack since December. Our White Hats have been preparing the public for what is to come. I also think our President wants to get maximum exposure that will do the most damage to the Democrats, MSM and the Left.

My “mother in law” research (talking to dozens and dozens of my friends in our evenly balanced mid sized town) believe if the “White Hats” had anything that would stick, at least something would have come out by now. Just one thing to give us continued hope.

They point out that, to the contrary, the “Black Hats” are getting frisky. Not a good sign.

More and more of them are coming to believe there is “no there, there”.

Thats what I’m hearing from my friends as well. That Mueller quickly got indictments and confessions, so if there is illegality on the dem side we would be seeing the same there. After all, the Republicans control everything!

I believe there is huge criminality in the Swamp. My point is there is very little being done publicly that is consistent with the magnitude of the crimes. Retirements and organization changes are almost invisible to the average person, and keeping pensions and benefits in the face of felony behavior is an insult to all of us who pay for those pensions and benefits.

We need at least one, initial powerful action that proves the RULE OF LAW is being restored. Nothing done to date accomplishes that.

Agree. It’s one thing for big criminals to he out on bond or whatever as they await sentencing and other matters, but here we haven’t even charged them yet. We are asked to have faith that the prosecutions are coming, but faith based on what? One solo Senator or Congressman exposing the bad guys? A recused Atty General, and a snake for Asst Atty General? We’re the rightful owners of this country, and we have the worst criminal sleaze stealing from us and laughing in our faces, and smearing our reputations all over TV and social media. This is an outrage of the worst kind. I reserve my faith for God, not for politicians. We need action now, or it’s all just a mockery of justice.

I know this all should be in the open thread. From those above, I did find kyle kushuv with 32.2K followers is a pro 2ndA student from the school. I dare say, twitter won’t be able to easily accidentally kick him off the twitter island. Twitter folks, get on his list.

I think the entire Mueller Probe comes down to whether Manafort will confess to a bunch of stuff that never happened, or not. They just seem to piling on him to make him crack like a Spanish Inquisition. If you look at Mueller’s team it’s even more clear that’s the game plan.

My new theory on why they ever even got a warrant on their former undercover agent Carter Page (on Hannity tonight) is to try find a crime on him, to get him to make a false confession. Might have tried the same with Flynn and Bannon.

Reply to Harleyd – I agree with you fully. Most likely what this all boils down to is the report (probably fake news) that Trump called Sessions an idiot for recusing. Sessions in response has told the President – take a hike Mr. President, I am not going to listen to you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Congressman Nunes frustration on leak investigation correlates directly to the Obama’s administration decision to widely disperse intell reports and internal departmental reports widely across government agencies.
If this had not happen the source of a given leak could be nailed down quite easily. Now, with dozens of departments within the government having access to these documents, multiplied by hundreds individuals having access to them. Who is to say, who did what and when.

It all comes back to the interview, I believe it was Sally Yates, where she says, “the fear was that the documents would just disappear with the out going adminstration.

Now, phrase that interview, her so called claimed fear rational, that important documents, would just disappear like HRC’s several boxes worth of her State Department papers WITH THAT of the results… the inability to address who leaked what and when.
It is a classic example of using seemingly reasonable rhetoric and legalise to hide a huge political advantage down stream to convolute accountability.

“the fear was that the documents would just disappear with the out going administration.”

I remember the infamous Evelyn Farkas used that exact term, or something very similar, in her blabber-mouth episode on MSNBC with Mika B. last February. I don’t recall ever hearing Sally Yates voice. I hope it stays that way.

Not everyone can be a farmer. There are certain traits that are necessary to have as a farmer that most people don’t possess.

Patience: Farmers tend to have a lot of patience and definitely need it in order to deal with the surprises that may come their way with their livestock, crop, equipment and weather.

The Weather: Farmers watch the weather every day to make sure their crop and livestock aren’t dramatically affected. Their ability to monitor weather conditions allows them to understand what they need to do when it comes to growing, harvesting, and selling their crop as well as producing feed for their livestock.

Risk Taking: Farmers take huge risks every year. The quality and health of their livestock and crop is never guaranteed. Factors such as the weather and local economic conditions can drastically affect a farmer’s business. But as a farmer, risks just need to be taken.

Hard Work: As a farmer, some years and seasons are worse than others and require more work. But farmers keep on going and work through the tough times in order to produce product for their communities.

The Environment: Farmers know better than anyone that preserving the environment is important. They constantly continue to make improvements to their land and the environment so they can have better crop seasons in the future.

America needs to send more farmers to Congress. They have the traits America needs.

Nunes was spot on. Sessions and the DOJ are not gonna prosecute any of those that attempted the coup. This whole recusal thing is just BS. Even POTUS Trump in that call was saying that there should be a prosecution. But….NO, they ain’t gonna take down their own.

And the important oint that the IG report is only focused on the Clinton email investigation. So this let’s wait for the IG report is not gonna move the ball forward on the coup plotters.

IMO, Sessions should be fired and a new AG appointed who will launch a prosecutor or Trump and the Republicans in Congress should force another special counsel to be appointed.

FROM A TREEPER ON THIS SITE…”Mueller has gone back over 10 years and gotten indictments and pleas from savvy people who were operating all over the world committing complex financial crimes. He did this in a couple of months….DOJ can’t even indict a leaker or perjurer when they do it on national TV, and in front of congress or the FISA court. What does indicting leakers have to do with the IG report? “EARTH TO ALL TREEPERS WHO CONTINUE TO DEFEND AG…How many more months do we defend this Mueller VERSUS DOJ track record?

Mr.Mueller started out using tainted evidence to begin most of his inquiries. He also has the benefit of a small hand picked team working outside the mainstream DOJ. There is no real significance to the “Russians” he indicted, basically with hands-off oversight from Congress, which IMO was a mistake. For all we know, some of those “Russians” may be George Soros funded computer bots.
The AG has to work inside a corrupted DOJ in such a way as to maintain the integrity of his work product and shield the work from the corruption in the system.

I read a Bernie Sanders forum, I don’t exactly know why. Nostalgia, information gathering… schadenfreude…
One thing is strinkingly clear after 2016 is that Bernie never had the stones for the job.

His sad devoted delusional followers are now appending “Bernie would have won!” to everything. They may even be right on some abstract level, but the fact that he took the high road while fighting a woman he knew was a scorpion shows how ill suited to the job he is.

The President on the other hand will do what it takes to succeed. He has been relentlessly throwing sand in his enemy’s eyes and the knife has been unsheathed since 2016.

I will not lose faith and regardless of the outcome, this has been the best learning experience I’ve ever had. I know more about my country, the world, the challenges we face and myself as a result.

URGENT…Chris Farrell from JW just said on Dobbs…”We’ve been talking about this for a year or longer…if we DO NOT see DOJ action on this in terms of an impaneled Grand Jury and indictments, the country will slide deeper into the deep state abyss etc.” AGAIN, I ASK …”IS THIS REALLY 28D CHESS OR ARE WE IN THE MIDST OF OVERLY CRIPPLING ANALYSIS BY PARALYSIS inaction”? How do we TREEPERS MOVE THE NEEDLE to action? All suggestions welcome.

Keep the pressure on the bureaucrats by periodically contacting Congress, DOJ/FBI, and DOJ OIG and DEMAND that the corrupt Obama Admin officials be fully investigated and charged for their crimes. Once the DOJ OIG report comes out, Americans must DEMAND indictments or a second special prosecutor.

Keep speaking out at this and other websites and your interactions with people. Cumulative pressure will work!

At any point in Sessions career has he been “establishment/swamp”. Sessions has almost been set up (intentionally) to play a role of obstructionist to PDJT. Does a President not have conversations with a cabinet member on a regular basis as to what they are up to and what the priorities should be as the country’s Chief Executive? If Trump/Sessions were to operate like Obama/Holder we would find ourselves in a political civil war most likely with violence (not that we aren’t close to that today and the left has tried their best to continually fuel flames) if Sessions would have gone headlong into going after the prior administration with Trump, I don’t think the outcome as a nation short term would be good. My gut still says they are playing the long game and the hammer will fall when the time is right. Like everyone else, I would have rather seen it yesterday. So….let’s have some predictions as to when the first indictment will come down. I am going with April 20th – give the IG report a week or two to marinate and then the hammer just in time for election season.

Hello Disgusted…Regarding your political civil war reference…. Crimes have been committed and I’m sure you and others can recite the precise violations. Therefore, where is the DOJ? If the shoe were on the opposing foot, would the other side worry about politics? NO! Political civil war not withstanding, JUSTICE needs to be served and served soon.

Reply to disgusted – Time is not on the President’s side. After the mid-terms (and the Dems score big [which is what the UniParty wants as the Republicans will blame an impeachment vote on Democrats]) it is a new ball game. Trump can only then hope to survive as the Senate will not support impeachment, win the nomination to be on the ballot and hope for a miracle.

I share the frustration and concern. I saw a tweet of WaPost clip from long ago reporting on LBJ’s use of the CIA and FBI to spy on Goldwater. Granted, I wasn’t born yet and am not a political junkie, but this was something I never heard. Yet it is the truth, on the record, and I guess fairly common knowledge. So why didn’t anything come of that, and if that episode of history was just shrugged off, what’s to say this won’t be as well. Can anyone not as politically naive answer that for me?

There is a LOT more to dig into. I am willing to bet that since 2009, Obama and Holder not only used FISA to spy on the Tea Party leaders, and to spy on all 17 Republican Primary candidates, but also spied using FISA on Romney’s campaign during the 2012 Election, and I am willing to “bet the farm”, that they also opened a FISA case on Trump, when he questioned Obama’s Birth Certificate in 2013. Everything Obama and Holder touched; they corrupted. The Constitution meant nothing to them! The FISA court was simply Obama and Holder’s WILLING “play-thing” for enforcement of their Agenda.

Regarding the numerous Republicans not seeking re-election. I wonder if they have been warned/threatened by Mordor that they will be in the eye of the storm should they try to wait it out. But, if they get out now (or not see re-election), they will be spared the fury that will be wrought. Maybe Nunes and a few others are trying their best to get something done. I would suspect that if nothing is being done by June/July, Nunes will announce he won’t seek re-election.

I think at that time its pretty much assured that Trump will not complete his first term and this country will enter a very long and dark period.

No, I’m not being a troll. Deep down, I’m “Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’ plannin’ and dreamin’……..One of those words is, plannin’, we’ve got to do that too. I think plan for anything out of DC would be basically useless, so its work in your local area. If you live in a blue state, do everything you can to get to a red state (and as rural as you can get with like minded people). They will find you.

There is are about 100 head of cattle that live across the road from me……I like them as neighbors…..even if on a warm day, I can tell they are there without seeing or hearing them.

Well, there you have it, folks. When asked about the OIG report soon to come out, Devin Nunes admits; “As I understand it, this is really only looking at the Clinton E-mail scandal.”

In other words, there is no Cavalry coming that will help to turn the tide on the Mueller investigation. There is no bombshell case being built by the OIG, DOJ, or others that would render the very appointment of this Special Counsel groundless because it is actually based on a massive lie. There SHOULD be, but there is not. Jeff Sessions has seen to that. The torpedo launched by Comey and Rosenstein rushes forward on a bearing true to target.

The much anticipated OIG report will probably describe procedural abuses, policy gaps, and poor practices. You will, no doubt, see a few “pre-selected” heads roll as the Potomac Two-Step gets into full swing. Then it will be back to business as usual. I’m afraid Mr. Nunes and Mr. Grassley are entirely on their own with zero prosecutorial power. They have done great work, and will surely protest courageously as their voices are diminished by more contemporary events.

As repulsive as it is, dirty cop Mueller is a made-man in DC with no one to molest him. Because of PDJT’s successes, he is now the lone hope of the Democrat Party, the massive lobbyist establishment, and the pay-to-play RINOs they support. He has a critical mission to complete and will be protected by the full force of the swamp and their media comrades as he goes about the nasty business of sullying our president for subsequent impeachment. It is a very difficult tragedy to watch, and I truly wish it weren’t being played out.

I still have faith that Sessions will bring the hammer down. He has been at an “UNBIASED” safe distance in which to act. I suspect that what the FBI delivered to the courts, is not what they delivered to congress re the FISA

It’s time, to ask yourself how Rod Rosenstein got away with threatening a congressional committee, It’s time to ask yourself how an former CIA officer could get away with threatening the President and it’s time to ask why Session sets quietly while many felons in the DOJ and FBI walk around free.

Could it be, that the real American government reporting structure is different than what the public has been told? Could it be, that Sessions took the job as AG, without realizing that his position was nothing more than a figure head?

The obvious is upon us.
The only way the Trump Presidency will get prosecutions is replace Sessions, Wray and Rosie and their entourages.
They’re laughing at us……”See, we’ll always run the system, investigate as much as you want, it matters not, you sad plebs.”
